Aaaah... don't worry about it... RH has stepped in in the past but it only
seems to happen when someone has gotten really abusive with "people", not
with issues. I think issues just have to get fought about (which on an open
list can get interesting) and resolved but I think it makes it a better
resource. If, on the other hand, the low rent language was directed against
persons in an ad-hominem attack (the kind of thing that would get you
punched in the nose in person if you see what I mean) then I'd expect Steve
would probably step in and do something about it. The only other cases I've
seen something done involved people who were honestly eligible for the "Kook
of the Month" award from usenet!
So far as your post complaining about language goes... it didn't offend me,
though I did consider it mildly humorous when considered against the
un-written/un-spoken rules I mentioned above. No problem... be happy!
